Early Access: Breaking the Binary with Jamie Bloch (Yael Baron)
Added 2023-03-15 23:30:03 +0000 UTCWhat does it mean to be non-binary? How do you use correct pronouns? And what does it really take to explore your own gender identity? 🏳️🌈
Jamie Bloch was introduced to the idea in 2016, when she read the script for #FactsOnly -- an episode of Degrassi: Next Class where Yael Baron comes out as gender fluid.
Jamie Bloch sits down with The Degrassi Kid Podcast to talk about her role as Yael Baron, Degrassi's first (and only) non-binary character.
While Degrassi pioneered the conversation around sexuality and gender identity in high school, I was curious to ask Jamie how she reflects on playing a non-binary character as a cisgender-actress? 🎭
Does she regret taking the role? Did she learn a lot from the experience? And what would she do now if she was asked to play another queer or non-binary character on TV? 🤔
Let's sit down with Jamie Bloch to talk diversity on Degrassi, the lengthy audition process and what it was like to work with The Hollingsworth Brothers (Miles & Hunter) outside of Degrassi? 🎬
